today I'm featuring the fabulous Tropical Scenes Stamps. I picked the leafy jungle border to create another Savanna Safari scene. I also added two cuties and a vine image from the Love Monkey set.
For my background, I first masked off the bottom half of the Bristol cardstock panel. I blended together the Distress Oxide Inks Milled Lavender and Dusty Concord to create a gradient purple sky. When it was completely dry, I stamped the sentiment in VersaMark Ink and heat embossed it with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder. The baobab tree was stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.
Next, I turned around the mask to work on the sandy ground. But before I started with the ink blending of Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap, I die cut the little island which I will turn into a small pond later. For a bit of interest, I added ink splatters with a paint brush. I chose Tumbled Glass and Broken China to ink up the pond and also die cut one of the waves. I inlaid the pond die-cut back into the negative space of the ground.
I stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. The solid grass and leaf image were stamped with green dye ink. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out. Finally, I tucked the hippo inside the wave slit and arranged the other images around the pond and up in the tree.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
